Plot: Timeline swap.

Madara is born in Obito’s era. He is part of team Minato, with Kakashi and Rin. His biggest dream is to become the greatest shinobi of all times. He loves fighting and absolutely doesn’t want to become the Hokage.

Obito was born in the warring state period, Izuna's oldest brother, clan head, Hashirama’s rival and friend, founder of the village, died in the valley fighting Hashirama. He was branded as a traitor to the village.

Madara was going to do it tonight. He was going to break into the archives and find the Scroll of Seals that contained all the forbidden jutsus. One of them ought to help them win the war. They were just too afraid to use them. Adults were idiots.

Not him though. He was Uchiha Madara. He was better. He just needed the right time. He knew it wouldn't get better than tonight.

Minato sensei was out on a mission. His annoying teammates too busy with the wild goose chase Madara sent them on, and the third was loosing his head running around, forever in the tower, trying to keep things together while fighting a war.

Not for long though. He would win them the war.

Nighttime has fallen quicker than Madara anticipated. There was a little nervousness in his body as he made his way into the Hokage residence, all alone, but undetected. Things got easier after that and before Madara knew it, he was sitting outside the forest, holding the scroll in trembling hands, utterly stunned.

He did count on things going smooth, but it was suspiciously easy.

Taking a deep breath he pushed the thought of it being a trap aside and unrolled the scroll.

Multishadow clones? He cocked his head. Well that was pointless. Why would he want to create more of himself?

He frowned, and read further. And more and more and more and his frustration grew with all the jutsus he found rather flashy but completely useless. He wanted something so powerful, so completely terrifying, he could win the war with it in a single night.

His finger stopped on the last title. Edo Tensei. His eyes scanned the lines under it. That's it! He grinned, activating his sharingan.

- He wears a rag that covers his mouth and the lower part of his face to protect his skin, and usually has a hood pulled up over his hair and ears. He is often wearing tinted snow goggles when he is outside, because the light is very bright to him in the daytime. For this reason, he tends to travel at dusk or true night.

- He met Soskro on one of their jobs gone wrong in Riften, during which he saved their life from the guard. A Guild thief skilled in illusion magic, Miraak agreed to take him on as a companion and later, friend. Mirdein was a mercenary based around Windhelm.

- Miraak uses Soskro during the Diplomatic Immunity quest. With himself distracting the party with his charm, and likely a few songs or three, Soskro is able to infiltrate the embassy unheard. Of course, he runs into trouble with the cave troll, but nothing that Mirdein, patiently waiting outside, can't handle when he runs screaming pellmell down the track.

- He isn't fond of the Greybeards and chafes against the restrictions put on him. He seeks out, beguiles and flatters any dragon willing to teach him more of the Voice.

- This is how he grows close to Relonikiv and Kruziikrel, as well as Sahrotaar. He is also strongly tempted to join Alduin himself, but Alduin never makes him the offer.

- He has already made pacts with Hermaeus Mora, and has the daedra's attention. A lot of this has to do with understanding the cult ruins around Skyrim, as he is searching for ways to deepen his knowledge.

- Power hungry and curious, but naive, Miraak often ends up in situations that risk his life, soul, or both. Mephala views him with some amusement, and is playing a tug of war with Mora over who gets his soul.

These ideas have been laying in my notebook for so long that I forgot to draw it out,,, Just realize I cannot design a sans at all أ‿أ

If there's Timefell,  ofc there's Timeswap! :)
